I think this has everything to do with this legislation.  Pharma/Insurance Co's have paid 3 Million for this man.  He's going to pick and choose exactly what they want him to say because he's owned by them, not by us, the people that elected him.  And because he toes the line, he'll keep getting more money to keep advancing their interests.  Our studies are 'ghostwritten' do you understand that the PR machines are 'ghostwriting' this guys talking points? 

I cannot believe you are blaming the government for the Lobbyists.  At least we're in agreement on THAT - Bush and his Big Business cronies undid our protections to help them.  We must be in agreement when the new government moves to reign them in.  Oh, wait, we have Bush's Supreme Court quorum and they're about to OK MORE coming $ in to influence politics.  You know - corporations are considered to have a 'voice' now - one vote, one voice OF A COMPANY.

This is at least the 5th time you've said you haven't read what was posted which makes me lean to the idea you don't want to know anything that will interfere with whatever you have decided is your position.

The point of this article is that this person is 'cherry picking' facts that support no health care reform.  This person is bought and sold and is using 'facts' cherry picked by his owners. 

The allowance of Big Corporate into politics was allowed by the Republican party on Bush's reign. 

Yet you complain that 'government' allows this? 

Details are important - but we've seen how 'end of life counseling' for people has been turned into 'death panels' by those whose monied interests are on the line.  I think that detail is the most telling.
